5 Years of My Crafternoons - Workshop List!
Over the past 5 years we’ve ran over 50 monthly workshops around the Greater Hamilton region in Western Victoria, learning heaps of new creative skills and making some awesome things (and awesome friends!)
It's been an absolute blast, and not one workshop has gone by where we haven't learnt something new, had fun and met some wonderful people. THANK YOU for coming along, for spreading the word, for sharing your skills and for your continued support!

We’ve even a free bunting workshop as part of a community festival, some private hen party or kids’ Crafternoons, and a couple of casual crafty catch-ups in places like the lovely Hamilton Botanic Gardens :) SO,
💜 Which have been your favourite? ❤️What do you want to try at future Crafternoons? 💛 If we ran any again - which sound great?
💙 Who do you know who might be an excellent collaborator in future?! Let us know about them- we love to connect creative people and enable skills sharing from passionate people! There are a number of crafts on our radar we’d love to do in future (spoon carving, soap-making, DIY perfumes, resin marbling, lino-cutting, stamp carving, mono-printing... ALL OF THE CRAFTS).
Some of the above workshops I've ran myself (hi, I'm Stacey if we haven't yet met!) and some have been collaborations with a host of talented local (and not-so-local) artists and collaborators.
